Maybe someone should give George “Chicklets” Cwiklewski a gavel? Looking at the volunteer work he did in 2008, he certainly could have used one.
As a former Angel in the Arts awards recipient, George was asked to be a judge in the first ever Okanagan Arts Awards. He also volunteered his time to be a judge of Kelowna’s Miss Lady of the Lake pageant and the Peachland Ambassador’s contest.
While he wasn’t a judge per se, he did offer the first ever cash prize for the People’s Choice award in the 2008 and 2009 Wearable Art Gala and sponsored the Mission Dance Centre’s Dance Artistico and the Alternator Gallery’s National Indigenous Conference called On Common Ground.
He’d have had more use of a gavel for running meetings as former president of Viva Musica Society for five years. In addition to board duties, he’s been known to billet out of town performers, organize galas and fundraisers including the 2008 Grand Gala opening of Viva’s production of A Chorus Line, which he turned into a fundraiser for the local hospice centre.
George is a director on the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board and represents our area on their Quality of Life board as well.
